The right to social protest or the right to protect and have rights

Abstract

Social protest in Peru is criminalized, which is fine because it undermines the country's normal development. Furthermore, these protests are carried out by idle people who expect the State to solve their problems and, on other occasions, by resentful people who envy those who, thanks to their great efforts, have accumulated wealth and prosperity. Whatever the case, the truth is that citizens who protest for wage increases, reforms in health care, education, or against corruption and impunity don't realize that if they are poor, it's because they want to be—that is, because they don't save or don't work hard enough.
